Classification of Morphemes roots and affixes Roots:that part of a word structure which is left when all the affixes have been removed. A root is the basic unchangeable part of a word and it conveys the main lexical meaning of a word.

Classification of Morphemes Lexical and grammatical morphemes: derivational morphemes are also known as lexical morphemes; grammatical morphemes refer to the inflectional morphemes and the functional words (in,have, and,they,etc.). Affixes can also be classified into: a.prefixes;suffixes;infixes;circumfixes b.native affixes;foreign affixes c.living affixes;dead affixes Hybrid:referring to words formed from elements of two or more different languages
